Featured Tip from ATS King

Pick Details

Sport / league:: MLB
Event / fixture:: Washington at LA Dodgers
Event date: Tue, 14 May 2013 at 12:10 PM
Market:: Head-to-head
Tip:: Washington Nationals @ 1.81 (bet365)
Tip Result:: Win

I'm taking the 20-16 Nationals over the 14-21 Dodgers primarily because of the pitching. The opener for the Nationals is Jordan Zimmermann who has a 1.59 ERA and 6-1 W/L record for the season. Josh Beckett will open for the Dodgers. He has a 5.13 ERA and 0-4 W/L record in 2013.

Washington are 5-2 in their last 7 games and 4-1 in their last 5 on the road. The Dodgers are 2-8 in their last 10 and 2-5 in their last 7 at home.

One explanation for why the odds are so tight may be Washington's poor record against the Dodgers, however they are 1-0 with Jordan Zimmermann starting against the LA team.
